Our Commitment
Meshi is committed to making our recipe management application accessible to everyone,
including people with disabilities. We work to follow widely accepted accessibility
standards and continually improve the experience for assistive-technology users.
Standard
Meshi targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance as published by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C). We test against this standard during development and as part
of our automated test pipeline.
Recent Accessibility Work
- Touch targets: All interactive controls meet a 44×44px minimum
hit-area, with invisible halos on icon-only buttons so chip styling can stay compact
- Color contrast: Body and UI text meet the 4.5:1 contrast ratio for
normal text; critical interactive states have been remediated
- Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements are reachable and
operable via keyboard, with logical focus order and visible focus indicators
- Screen reader support: Semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and Bits UI
primitives provide consistent screen-reader announcements
- Focus indicators: Visible
focus-visible rings on all
interactive elements
Known Limitations
We are continuously improving. Some known limitations as of the date above:
- A small number of axe accessibility rules may still report violations on edge-case
pages. The previously open
button-name issues on the landing and welcome
screens have been fixed, and the nested-interactive issues on the food
home carousel and pantry pages have been fixed - Mobile Safari driver issues sometimes cause cosmetic test failures in our
accessibility test suite that do not represent real user-facing issues. We
investigate any genuine regressions promptly
- Some AI-generated recipe imagery uses generated alt text that may not perfectly
describe every image
